Don't know what you're talking about. Could you share a link, please?

I did ask the same question to other online communities (specifically Reddit and Stack Overflow) to get an unbiased answer.

From Google's cache (enter this in the address bar):

I asked on Reddit from my 3-year-old account. In comparison, your account is 30 minutes old.

You are correct that I also asked other online communities this question.

I wouldn't say I was trying to force a narrative. I was asking out of concern. I was especially unnerved after seeing the development graph on GitHub:

Also seeing there were features that haven't been implemented for the last 6 years made me even less confident about the future of the project:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/68

Even from this post:

Of all the Zig projects the author said he was going to work on:

- https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin/tree/zig

- https://github.com/andrewrk/genesis/tree/zig

- https://github.com/andrewrk/clashos

he never committed and did any of them.

Hi Andrew, sorry for the unrelated question but where can we find the financial reports of the Zig Software Foundation for 2022? The Finances spreadsheet hasn't been updated for the past half a year:
